There may be no "i" in "team", but...

...there is an "i" in "rich". There's three in "millionaire". There are four "i"s in "multi Millionaire"! That's a lotta "i"'s...
I'm not saying you don't need help to be successful in real estate, because you do. But I don't agree with this whole "team" thing. Just about everyone out there says you need a team, build a team first, I don't have a team in place yet.
You don't need a team! Other people don't care about you getting rich, unless it's making them money as well. Don't leave it up to anyone else if you want to be successful in real estate or anything else for that matter! Nobody else will care as much as you do whether you succeed or not...
Now, this isn't to say you can do it all by yourself, because you can't. You need real estate agents, lawyers, accountants, plumbers, contractors, handy men, etc. Just remember these people are not teammates, they're EMPLOYEES! You should listen to their advice and recommendations, but YOU are the boss and should make all the final decisions. You gotta live with your decisions, not them! They all get paid regardless of whether you make money or not...
